This article critically examines the way in which lawyers perpetuate situations of gender violence through their professional practice. It will explain the way in which the different bar associations have acted in Peru. To do so, we will begin by explaining the concept of gender violence and its connection with the actions of lawyers, with special reference to the recognition of judicial harassment as part of this form of violence. The context and value of the amendment made to the regulations on gender violence that recognized judicial harassment will be explained. Then, a specific case will be meticulously analyzed that involves the prolonged legal ordeal that a victim of judicial harassment has gone through. In this sense, apart from mentioning the measures imposed against the accused, this article focuses on the scrutiny of the responses of the various bodies that govern legal professionals in Peru in this changing facet of gender violence. After that, the position of the existing Peruvian legal profession on gender issues is addressed. Additionally, a structured framework is proposed to assess disciplinary cases in the context of gender-based violence. In that sense, through this exploration, the article strives to provide insight into the adaptive dynamics of the legal landscape to address this pressing concern. Finally, the conclusions will encompass reflections on the implications for legal ethics and gender justice in the Peruvian legal system.
